The Hero Xtreme 200S is expected to be positioned as a premium urban commuter.

Hero MotoCorp’s upcoming commuter, the Hero Xtreme 200S will be launched in early 2018, reports Motorbeam. The management at the Auto Expo 2016, where the bike was unveiled, had said that the bike would come before the Auto Expo 2018.

While having shown the Hastur and the HX250R, the management at Hero Motocorp had hinted that the Xtreme 200S was their next premium motorcycle.

The Hero Xtreme 200S tries to carry over the legacy of the CBZ family which now goes by just the Xtreme tag. Powering the machine is a 200 cc single cylinder, air cooled mill. The engine is capable of producing 18.6 PS of maximum power at 8,500 rpm and 17.2 Nm of peak torque at 6,000 rpm.

Hero MotoCorp will be using a diamond type frame in the Hero Xtreme 200S. The brakes will include discs at both ends while ABS will also be on offer. Suspended over standard telescopic forks up front and a monoshock in the rear, the setup can be expected to be set on the softer side to tackle typical Indian road conditions.
